Our June meeting will be focused on quality-of-life and public safety. We are heading into the summer, when car meetups and takeovers, fireworks, loud parties, illegal moped use, and park vandalism reach their peak. The commanders of Patrol Borough Queens North and NYPD 104th Precinct will be attending to answer your questions and hear your concerns.
The JPCA board met with MTA regarding the IBX back in April. They asked to attend our June meeting, but based on the non-answers we received, we decided it would make more sense to host them in the fall after the Draft Environmental Impact Statement is released and they have actual answers. In the meantime, here are their direct, unedited responses to some of our questions.

Maybe taking power plants offline before having an alternative plan in place wasn't the best idea.

MIDDLE VILLAGE, Queens (PIX11) — Chants of “Not Here!” filled the air Tuesday night on 69th Place in Middle Village, Queens. Dozens of residents and several local politicians join…It didn't work for the homeless shelter...Just saying.
Y’all talking about how maspeth is industrial which is true but the one in rust st there are literally houses next to it y’all think that’s fair ?
As a Maspeth resident, I was surprised that there are already 2 plants a few blocks from my house and Robert Holden and Phil Wong both stated last night that they had suggested to 9 dot that they build their plant on a property in Maspeth instead of Middle Village. Why is Maspeth the dumping ground?
If you actually read about them, they are a great idea to stabilize the grid and MV really doesn’t have an industrial area. I do understand the concerns.
I’d feel the same, but I now live in the bubble of Bayside where the biggest QOL issue is whether to park on the driveway or the open street parking directly in front of the house.
Because Maspeth has a much larger industrial footprint than MV. But, I’m with you, Cyn. I wish there were none being considered.
Taking nuclear plants offline was a suicidal idea to impose and mandate more "green" power infrastructure. All that so few, carefully chosen individuals can fill up their packets. There was no foresight whatsoever.
Wrong location near a school and so many homes God willing this will be stopped.

One of the lies I heard post-rally by the power plant spokesperson was this 'farm' would have prevented the frequent and lately blackouts in Middle Village etc.. but it won't because the failures are not in generation but rather the transformers and lines above ground during storms...
My question is do protests really matter to NYC politicians anymore when the city is now a one party city?? I don't think they care about things we care about or protest about. It's not going to change anything they want to do

One party rule. The Democratic Party boses were evil genius’. Just like the devil convinced everyone he didn’t exist. The party convinces everyone to “register Democrat so you can vote in the primaries “.
